This lifeform must have existed continuously for at least 1 million years off-Earth. If evidence of extra-terrestrial life is discovered elsewhere, then it must have existed continuously outside of Earth's biosphere for at least 1 million years in order to qualify. If this discovery occurs in multiple steps, then the step that leads to a 90% consensus among the scientific community is considered the "discovery" in the context of this question. The definition of life in this question includes systems capable of self-replication, storing information and evolving.
